Having previously bought and sold houses in California, Florida, Maryland, and Texas, I have substantial basis to say that Paul Reddam is singularly incredible.

Always provided patient and expert counsel that truly reflected a fiduciary duty to put the client's interests first, ahead of the realtor's. Always accessible, always provided sage guidance. Doesn't make stuff up; if he doesn't know the answer, he conscientiously researches it and conveys accurate answers. Having previously bought and sold houses in California, Florida, Maryland, and Texas, I have substantial basis to say that Paul Reddam is singularly incredible.

Paul impressed us from the moment we met him. He was a fantastic advocate for us, giving us great advice throughout the whole process - both when evaluating homes and throughout the negotiation process.

Paul was an absolute pleasure to work with throughout the entire home buying process. We were first-time home buyers, and were moving to Austin from Southern California, so we knew that we needed a realtor that we could trust and who would keep us informed.

Paul impressed us from the moment we met him. He was a fantastic advocate for us, giving us great advice throughout the whole process - both when evaluating homes and throughout the negotiation process. As others can attest, he answers emails/texts at lightning speed, and was also patient with our many questions. He runs a great website and blog that are great resources for anyone learning about the Austin area, and he simply goes above and beyond when it comes to good old customer care. Plus, he's just an all-around awesome guy.

Paul was amazing to work with. First off, he was extremely patient. I never felt pushed during our time working together. At the same time, Paul also had a great way of helping me figure out what I wanted and what I was looking for. As a first-time home buyer, I desperately needed this guidance.

In true Yelper form, I actually found Paul off of Yelp. I am so thankful that I did! Paul was amazing to work with. First off, he was extremely patient. I never felt pushed during our time working together. At the same time, Paul also had a great way of helping me figure out what I wanted and what I was looking for. As a first-time home buyer, I desperately needed this guidance. In short, he was the perfect balance of what I needed in a realtor.

Paul was also very transparent. He started off our visits by telling me what he DIDN'T like about the home, particularly as it related to resale. This was helpful because I started looking for these things myself as we progressed in my homeowner expedition. I knew I was getting close to finding the right place when I had a hard time finding things I didn't like. He embraced all of my ideas as well as those of my parents, and didn't mind at all that we toggled between two homes. In the end, I found the perfect house for me at this time of my life. I am also confident in the resale value and will definitely be using him in the future.

Finally, I referred Paul to my friend but also encouraged her to look at other realtors. She interviewed a few realtors and ended up using Paul. She has also been happy with their work together and just bought a place! In short, I highly recommend Paul for anyone who wants to buy a home in the Austin area. He is the best!

He was everything you could ask for in a real estate agent and then some. He's sharp, incredibly knowledgeable, friendly and works incredibly hard to get you the best deal possible and get you into your new home. He's also incredibly responsive through the whole process via e-mail, text, phone and in person. I'd recommend him to anyone looking for a house in Austin.

I wish that Yelp let you have one sixth star to give each year and if they did, Paul would be getting mine this year. He was everything you could ask for in a real estate agent and then some. He's sharp, incredibly knowledgeable, friendly and works incredibly hard to get you the best deal possible and get you into your new home. He's also incredibly responsive through the whole process via e-mail, text, phone and in person. I'd recommend him to anyone looking for a house in Austin.

We came to Paul because my wife and finally found a house we were interested in and we wanted an agent to help us figure out if it was really *the* house. He happily met with us, listened to what we were looking for and helped to answer our questions about just about anything.

It was clear even in the first meeting that he wasn't your typical agent. It was clear he was up-to-date both with his local real estate knowledge, but also with the broader trends in the industry; he talked about Zillow and Redfin without the normal disdain that realtors seem to have. Also, he was willing to offer his actual opinion on pretty much any issue as opposed to saying "well, that really depends, what do you think?" Even so, he never took offense if you disagreed.

Once he'd listened to what we were looking for, he was able to show us enough houses to make us sure that we had found the right house and weren't missing anything, but he wasn't pushy either in favor of the house we found or anything new.

Once we decided that it was the right house, Paul negotiated us a great deal and helped us through every phase of the process from the inspection to the closing. At every step he was knowledgeable and helpful. He knows somebody good to talk to for every step of the way and his connections mean that he can push things through quickly if needed. He was able to get us a closing date a full week ahead of schedule by putting pressure on the relevant people which helped us immensely.

If you're looking for an agent, start with Paul. You will not be disappointed.

We've worked with many different realtors before, and without hesitation, none of them compared to Paul. He was clearly most concerned with helping us meet our needs first and foremost.

Our family was fortunate to meet Paul through a mutual friend, and we simply cannot say enough wonderful things about him. We were home searching in a very hot market in Austin, and looked for the right fit for almost a year. We had very specific needs in a home, and were looking to stay within a specific budget. Paul was incredibly helpful, patient, and easy going- working around our busy family schedule to show us houses as soon as, and sometimes before, they came on the market.

We've worked with many different realtors before, and without hesitation, none of them compared to Paul. He was clearly most concerned with helping us meet our needs first and foremost. We never felt rushed or pressured, and in the end, he helped us navigate a challenging seller to land the perfect home for us!

There is no question that we will use him again whenever we need to buy or sale in the future!

He is a master negotiator and knows exactly what to do if you find your dream home and want to do whatever it takes to get it. We highly recommend him!

My husband and I recently sold our house and bought a new one with Paul. He was absolutely wonderful through the whole process. He always remained calm (important for me as I'm an anxious person) and had a great knowledge of the whole buying and selling process. Most importantly, though, Paul never tried to up sell us on buying out of our budget, and he never once made us feel shame about what our max buying price was. He is also a master negotiator and knows exactly what to do if you find your dream home and want to do whatever it takes to get it. We highly recommend him!

Paul helped me find a home in Austin and I couldn't be happier with using him as my realtor! Paul is organized, flexible, super friendly, trustworthy and a well-seasoned veteran of the Austin real estate market.

In my case, I was purchasing a first home from out of town. I was very familiar with Austin yet purchasing from my current location on the East Coast. Paul showed me and my partner many homes over several months when we were in town and quickly got back to us when we wanted to touch base about something during the whole process. He was patient, answered all of our many questions and gave advice when we asked for it. Paul helped make the entire process--not just finding the right place but seeing through the whole purchase--clear and easy.

I would readily use Paul again, recommend him to friends, and if I sell my home in the future, work with him then, too!

My previous experience with realtors here and in other cities seemed to suggest that realtors didn't actually bring much to the table. And then I met Paul.

I just closed on a house this week with Paul as my realtor. As I read the other stellar reviews on here, I wondered if I needed to add yet another 5-star review to the pile. I would be remiss to not sing Paul's praises though.

When I decided to buy a house, I was thinking "I need a warm body to let me into the homes I want to see". My previous experience with realtors here and in other cities seemed to suggest that realtors didn't actually bring much to the table. And then I met Paul. Not only is he Austin-savvy, but that man can answer emails at lightning speed! He is an excellent devil's advocate and will help you gauge a negotiating situation from all angles. I have a somewhat busy schedule but Paul was happy to accommodate it and take me out to see homes when I had time.

Paul does a tremendous job of being professional while also being warm, friendly, and knowledgeable. What's more is that his passion for helping people find their homes really shines through. By the time you've finished working with Paul, you'll want him as a friend too.

-- Wes G.

He blew us away with his expertise on Austin's housing market, his friendliness, his extreme patience (lots of it, since we changed our minds quite a bit) and, what I valued most, his brutal honesty.

Paul did an amazing job helping us find our perfect home. We were new to Austin and searching for our first home. He blew us away with his expertise on Austin's housing market, his friendliness, his extreme patience (lots of it, since we changed our minds quite a bit) and, what I valued most, his brutal honesty. He understood what we wanted and worked hard to find it for us. He walked us through the entire buying process, turning a potentially painful process to a fun learning experience. I would definitely recommend him to all my friends and family, as I slowly but surely convince each and every one of them to move to Austin.

-- Jessica D.

Unlike other real estate agents I have worked with in the past, Paul did not focus on "selling" me a home, he focused on finding the right home for my family.

Paul was an exceptional real estate agent. He went above and beyond my expectations. We were new to Austin, so we had no idea where we wanted to live. Unlike other real estate agents I have worked with in the past, Paul did not focus on "selling" me a home, he focused on finding the right home for my family. He is never pushy, but he steered us as we searched to narrow down our wants and discover the right home in the right neighborhood for us. We couldn't be happier!

Paul is sharp as a tack, has extensive institutional knowledge, is quick and analytical, and has great instincts. There's no better realtor out there to help you make informed decisions and take calculated risks, which is key to the central Austin real estate market.

This review is long overdue. Simply put, Paul is the best. Last summer, he helped me buy my current house in Northwest Hills and gave me the perfect strategy to beat four other offers for a house that had been on the market for about 24 hours. A year later, I was chatting with a current neighbor (who was friends with the prior owner of my house), and I mentioned to her that my agent was Paul Reddam, and she responded, "I know who your agent is. He is *really* smart." And it's true. Paul is sharp as a tack, has extensive institutional knowledge, is quick and analytical, and has great instincts. There's no better realtor out there to help you make informed decisions and take calculated risks, which is key to the central Austin real estate market.
